Some songs begin with a feeling. Others begin with a sound.
“On The Outside” started with a simple idea on the guitar — a quiet progression that immediately carried a sense of distance and longing. From that first moment, the mood of the song was clear.
The lyrics grew out of the feeling of being present but unseen, standing close to others while feeling emotionally far away. It’s about watching connections happen around you, trying to reach out, and still feeling like you’re on the edge of the room. At its core, the song speaks to vulnerability, loneliness, and the desire to belong.
The vocal performance – again by the amazing Jeny – is where fragility and honesty take center stage. The singing is intentionally intimate — soft, exposed, and human — allowing every word to feel personal.
“On The Outside” also carries a subtle Christmas atmosphere. The song was shaped with the feeling of the holiday season in mind — a time that is supposed to be warm and joyful, yet can feel especially quiet and heavy for those who are alone. While lights glow in windows and voices gather elsewhere, this song sits with those moments of solitude, offering understanding rather than false cheer.
Musically, the arrangement stays minimal. The mandolin and fiddle remain the emotional backbone, supported by gentle textures that feel like winter air — calm, reflective, and still. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is hidden.
This song is not only about feeling lost — it holds a quiet hope. A reminder that even during the holidays, when loneliness feels louder, your presence still matters.
“On The Outside” has been released on 19.12.2025 — for anyone who needs a song that understands what the season can really feel like.
